In sharing using a lean vehicle with a power source such as an electrically assisted bicycle and two electric vehicles, a lean vehicle with a power source is often used for a short distance as compared with sharing of a four-wheeled vehicle. Therefore, the one-time use time of a lean vehicle with a power source is short. Therefore, in sharing using a lean vehicle with a power source, it is required to increase the rental frequency.

An object of the present invention is to provide a sharing management device for a lean vehicle with a power source and a sharing management method for a lean vehicle with a power source, which can increase the rental frequency of sharing of a lean vehicle with a power source. To do.

The present inventor examined in detail the rental situation of the lean vehicle with a power source in order to increase the rental frequency of the lean vehicle with a power source.

In the study, the present inventor has found that in the sharing of a lean vehicle with a power source, the lean vehicle with a power source is used when traveling from a short distance to a long distance.

In sharing a lean vehicle with a power source, the lean vehicle with a power source has a power source and is therefore used for longer distance travel than a bicycle without a power source. Further, since a lean vehicle with a power source is easier to handle than a four-wheeled vehicle, it is also used for short-distance movement like a bicycle. As described above, in sharing a lean vehicle with a power source, the lean vehicle with a power source is used in a wide traveling range from short-distance movement to long-distance movement.

The present inventor utilizes a situation in which a lean vehicle with a power source is used in a wide traveling range from a short-distance movement to a long-distance movement in sharing a lean vehicle with a power source. We examined ways to increase the frequency of rental of lean vehicles.

In the study, the present inventor is generally used in sharing a lean vehicle with a power source in order to cover a wide traveling range from short-distance travel to long-distance travel. I noticed that it is based on the technical idea of making the type of lean vehicle with a power source one type that can move over long distances.

Therefore, unlike the conventional technical idea, the present inventor selects a type of lean vehicle with a power source used for sharing in order to cover a wide traveling range from short-distance travel to long-distance travel. I tried an approach based on the technical idea of making multiple different types.

In further study, the present inventor has found that the different types of lean vehicles with a power source used for sharing can meet the different needs of a large number of users by using a plurality of types having different cruising ranges.

The introduction cost of a lean vehicle with a high-spec power source that can move a long distance is generally different from the introduction cost of a lean vehicle with a low-spec power source that can move a short distance. For example, the introduction cost of a lean vehicle with a high-spec power source that can move a long distance is generally high. Further, for example, the introduction cost of a low-spec power source-equipped lean vehicle that cannot move a long distance but can move a short distance is generally low. In this way, by making multiple types of lean vehicles with a power source used for sharing a lean vehicle with a power source, in sharing using a large number of lean vehicles with a power source, sharing of a lean vehicle with a power source can be performed. Operating costs can be suppressed. As a result, it becomes possible to dynamically set the usage fee presented to the user who uses the sharing of the lean vehicle with a power source.

The present inventor can dynamically set the usage fee presented to the user based on the technical idea that the types of lean vehicles with a power source used for sharing are set to a plurality of types having different cruising distances. I realized that I could rent out lean vehicles more often.

Furthermore, as a result of examination, the present inventor has determined that the type of lean vehicle with a power source used in sharing is the maximum speed or maximum output, maximum as vehicle specifications, in addition to the maximum cruising range as vehicle specifications. It has been found that the same effect can be obtained even with a plurality of types having different torques. A lean vehicle with a power source that differs in at least two of the maximum cruising range, the maximum speed, the maximum output, and the maximum torque may be a plurality of different types of lean vehicles with a power source.

The above-mentioned cruising range, maximum speed, maximum output, and maximum torque are the specification values of the power source-equipped lean vehicle when the power source-equipped lean vehicle is introduced into sharing, respectively.

Further, since the lean vehicle with a power source is easier to handle than the four-wheeled vehicle, it can be used for short-distance movement as well as a bicycle. Thus, in sharing a lean vehicle with a power source, the lean vehicle with a power source can be used in a wide traveling range from short distance to long distance travel.

Further, the lean vehicle with a power source can easily park a plurality of vehicles on one base as compared with a four-wheeled vehicle. Therefore, in sharing a lean vehicle with a power source that can be used in a wide range of travel from short distances to long distances, it is parked on multiple bases and has at least maximum cruising range, maximum speed, maximum output and maximum torque. It is possible to use multiple types of lean vehicles with power sources, one of which has different specifications.

You may. In addition, a lean vehicle with a power source having a different maximum cruising range is, for example, a lean vehicle with a power source equipped with a new battery device when a lean vehicle with a power source is introduced into sharing even if the specifications of the battery device are the same. And the combination with a lean vehicle with a power source equipped with a used battery device at the time of introduction.

The maximum cruising range of a lean vehicle with a power source is different in the case of a motorcycle equipped with an engine, for example, in the case of an engine having the same specifications, the size of the tank capacity of the fuel tank may be different. Further, lean vehicles with power sources having different maximum cruising ranges may have the same fuel tank capacity but different fuel consumption rates.

The maximum speed, maximum output, or maximum torque is different in the case of electric vehicles such as electrically power assisted bicycles and electric two-wheeled vehicles, for example, when at least one of the rated output of the motor and the drive control of the motor is different. May be good.

The difference in maximum speed, maximum output or maximum torque means that in the case of a motorcycle with an engine, for example, engine displacement, engine type, engine control, transmission type and transmission control at least. One may be different.

Further, as described above, when the lean vehicle with a power source is a motorcycle having an engine, the remaining amount of fuel in the fuel tank differs for each vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to propose a lean vehicle with a power source suitable for the user according to the user's single-shot use request information from among the lean vehicles with a power source having different charge amounts of the battery device or the remaining amount of fuel in the fuel tank. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently operate a plurality of lean vehicles with power sources.

It is also possible to reduce the cost burden of the sharing user by changing the cost burden of the sharing user according to the charge amount of the battery device or the remaining fuel amount of the fuel tank.

(Sharing management method for lean vehicles with power source)
Next, a method of managing sharing of the lean vehicles 100, 200, and 300 with a power source will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a sharing management method for a lean vehicle with a power source. In the following, an example of sharing shown in FIG. 7 will be used for description.

When the flow shown in FIG. 8 starts (starts), first, the lean vehicle information acquisition unit 11 with a power source of the sharing management device 1 for a lean vehicle with a power source is parked in the bases X1 to X3 and is connected to a connection terminal (not shown). Vehicle information regarding the lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 with a power source to which the charging cable or the connection cable is connected is acquired via the communication line 2 (step S1).

The vehicle information includes, for example, IDs (identification numbers for identifying vehicles) of lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 with a power source, information on the amount of charge, information on vehicle conditions (malfunction, mileage, etc.), and the like.

Bases X1 to X3 include an area in which multiple types of powered lean vehicles can be parked, with specifications that differ in at least one of maximum range, maximum speed, maximum output and maximum torque.

In the following step S2, the power source-equipped lean vehicle management unit 12 calculates the mileage (cruising distance) based on the information on the charge amount of the power source-equipped lean vehicles 100, 200, 300. The calculated information on the mileage is assigned to the IDs of the lean vehicles 100, 200, and 300 with a power source, and is stored in a storage device (not shown) of the sharing management device 1 for the lean vehicle with a power source.

When the user applies for single-shot use by inputting to the mobile terminal 3 as shown in FIG. 5, for example, in step S3, the user single-shot use request information acquisition unit 13 of the sharing management device 1 for a lean vehicle with a power source is subjected to the user. Acquires user single-use request information input to the mobile terminal 3. This user one-time use request information is information on one-time use of the user, and includes information on a place to start using and a moving distance.

The user single-shot use request information may also include information regarding the use start date and time or the use end location of the lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 with a power source.

In the following step S4, the power source-equipped lean vehicle type-base related information generation unit 14 generates a plurality of power source-equipped lean vehicle type-base related information based on the user single-shot use request information. This powered lean vehicle type-base related information is extracted from multiple types of powered lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 with specifications that differ in at least one of maximum cruising distance, maximum speed, maximum output and maximum torque. Includes a combination of available powered lean vehicle types, information about the base on which the power sourced lean vehicle of that type is parked, and vehicle usage fees for the powered lean vehicle.

The power source-equipped lean vehicle type-base-related information may include information on the transfer locations of the power source-equipped lean vehicles 100, 200, and 300 on the route from the use start location to the use end location. Good. That is, in step S4, the transfer is made to transfer to a plurality of types of lean vehicles with power sources 100, 200, 300 having different specifications at least one of the maximum cruising range, the maximum speed, the maximum output, and the maximum torque at the transfer location. Powered Lean Vehicle Type-Base related information may be generated.

The power sourced lean vehicle type-base related information may include information on the time required for the powered lean vehicle 100, 200, 300 to move from the use start location to the use end location.

After that, in step S5, the power source-equipped lean vehicle type-base related information output unit 15 outputs a plurality of power source-equipped lean vehicle types-base-related information to the user's mobile terminal 3 via the communication line 2. .. The user's mobile terminal 3 displays a plurality of power source-equipped lean vehicle types-base-related information output from the power source-equipped lean vehicle type-base-related information output unit 15, for example, as shown in FIG.

When the user selects one of the plurality of lean vehicle types with power sources-base related information displayed on the mobile terminal 3, in step S6, the selection information acquisition unit 16 uses the mobile terminal via the communication line 2. From 3, the information selected by the user is acquired as the selection information.

When the selection information acquisition unit 16 acquires the selection information, in step S7, the power source-equipped lean vehicle single-engine reservation information generation unit 17 generates the power source-equipped lean vehicle single-engine reservation information based on the selection information.

After that, in step S8, the power source-equipped lean vehicle single-shot reservation information output unit 18 outputs the generated power source-equipped lean vehicle single-shot reservation information to the user's mobile terminal 3 via the communication line 2. The user's mobile terminal 3 displays the single-shot reservation information for the lean vehicle with a power source, and notifies the user that the reservation for the lean vehicle with a power source has been completed.

After that, this flow ends (end).

The power source-equipped lean vehicle type-base-related information generation unit 14 starts from the reservable time zone of the power source-equipped lean vehicles 100, 200, and 300, which are the reservation targets, based on the power source-equipped lean vehicle single-shot reservation information. The time zone excluding the time zone reserved by the user is set as a new reservable time zone. The sharing management device 1 for a lean vehicle with a power source accepts other reservations in the new reservation available time zone.

Here, step S3 corresponds to the user single use request information acquisition step for acquiring the user single use request information, and step S4 corresponds to the user single use request information acquisition step, and step S4 is a lean vehicle type with a power source-lean with a power source that generates a plurality of base-related information. Corresponding to the vehicle type-base related information generation step, step S5 corresponds to the plurality of power sourced lean vehicle types-power sourced lean vehicle type-base related information output step for outputting base related information.

In the present embodiment, the sharing management device 1 for a lean vehicle with a power source can park a plurality of lean vehicles with a power source on one base when the user uses the lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 with a power source in a single shot. In addition to including information on the start date and time of use of the vehicles 100, 200, and 300, the start place of use, and the moving distance, the user single use request information which is the information on the single use of the user is acquired. Further, the sharing management device 1 for a lean vehicle with a power source can park a plurality of vehicles on one base based on the user's single use request information, and at least one of the maximum cruising distance, the maximum speed, the maximum output and the maximum torque. Available power source lean vehicle types extracted from multiple types of power source lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 with different specifications and the available power source lean vehicle are parked. Generate a plurality of power sourced lean vehicle type-base related information including a combination of information about the base and the vehicle usage fee of the available power sourced lean vehicle. Further, the sharing management device 1 for a lean vehicle with a power source outputs the plurality of types of lean vehicles with a power source-base-related information.

As a result, the sharing management device 1 for a lean vehicle with a power source can be used for the lean vehicle 100 with a power source when the user can park a plurality of lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 with a power source on one base. , 200, 300 Lean vehicle types with power sources-base related information can be output based on the user's one-time use request information including information on the usage start location and the travel distance. The power sourced lean vehicle type-base related information is used from among a plurality of types of power sourced lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 in which at least one of the maximum cruising distance, the maximum speed, the maximum output and the maximum torque is different. It includes a combination of possible types of powered lean vehicles, information about the base on which the available powered lean vehicles are parked, and vehicle usage fees for the available powered lean vehicles. Therefore, for the user, sharing 100 of a plurality of types of lean vehicles with a power source, in which a plurality of vehicles can be parked on one base and at least one of the maximum cruising range, the maximum speed, the maximum output and the maximum torque is different. 200,300 can be proposed along with information about the base and vehicle usage fees.

Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare all the lean vehicles with a power source used for sharing in the lean vehicles with a power source over a long distance, so that the introduction cost of the lean vehicles with a power source can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost borne by the user in sharing a lean vehicle with a power source.

(Other embodiments)
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above-described embodiments are merely examples for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the embodiment is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the above-described embodiment can be appropriately modified and implemented within a range that does not deviate from the gist thereof.

In the above embodiment, the lean vehicle with a power source to be shared is an electric two-wheeled vehicle 100, an electrically assisted bicycle 200, and a two-wheeled motor vehicle 300. However, lean vehicles with a power source that are subject to sharing are electric two-wheeled vehicles, electrically power assisted bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, three-wheeled vehicles that turn in an inclined posture, and four-wheeled vehicles that turn in an inclined posture. Of these, at least two types of vehicles may be included.

A lean vehicle with a power source that is the target of sharing, and a vehicle that obtains power by burning fuel (motorcycles, scooters, three-wheeled vehicles that turn in an inclined posture, four-wheeled vehicles that turn in an inclined posture, etc.) The power sourced lean vehicle type-base related information generation unit 14 may generate the power sourced lean vehicle type-base related information according to the remaining amount of fuel. In this case, the power source-equipped lean vehicle type-base related information generator transfers the power source-equipped lean vehicle with a small amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank on the route from the start location to the end location. Lean vehicle type with power source to be used in-base related information may be generated.

In the above embodiment, the bases X1 to X3 can communicate with the power source-equipped lean vehicle sharing management device 1 via the communication line 2. However, the lean vehicle with a power source may have a communication device capable of communicating with the sharing management device 1 for the lean vehicle with a power source via the communication line 2.

In the above-described embodiment, the example shown in FIG. 7 has been described as an example of sharing of a lean vehicle with a power source. However, sharing of a lean vehicle with a power source may be in the manner shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

In the example shown in FIG. 9, the sharing management device for a lean vehicle with a power source uses the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 parked at the base X1 near the current location (use start place) and is the base where the use ends. Use the power source lean vehicle type-base related information including information about the route C to move to X2 and the electrically power assisted bicycle 200 parked at the base X4 near the current location to move to the base X2 where the use ends. Generates a powered lean vehicle type-base related information, including information about the path D to be taken.

Specifically, the user inputs information such as the start date and time of use of the lean vehicle with a power source, the current location where the use starts, and the end place of use into the mobile terminal, and applies for a single use of the lean vehicle with a power source. Do. When the sharing management device for a lean vehicle with a power source acquires the user's single-use use request information from the mobile terminal by the user's single-use use application, the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 and the electric assisted bicycle 200 parked on the bases X1 and X4. Among them, a plurality of lean vehicle types with a power source-base-related information including information on a vehicle that can move to the base X2, information on the base in which the vehicle is parked, and a vehicle usage fee for the vehicle. Generate.

That is, when there are a plurality of bases as the boarding place as in the example of FIG. 9, the power sourced lean vehicle type-base related information is not only the information on the type of the power sourced lean vehicle, but also the start of use. It also includes information on a plurality of routes (routes C and D in the example shown in FIG. 9) from the location to the end-of-use location.

Similar to the bases X1 to X3 described above, the base X4 also includes a plurality of electric two-wheeled vehicles and a parking area, and is provided with a connection cable (not shown) connected to the connection terminal of the electric two-wheeled vehicle. There is. This connection cable is also connected so that signals can be transmitted and received to the communication line 2.

In the example shown in FIG. 10, the sharing management device for a lean vehicle with a power source uses the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 parked at the base X1 which is the starting place of use, and reaches the bases X2 and X5 which are the getting-off places. Generate multiple powered lean vehicle type-base related information, including information about the routes E, F to travel.

Specifically, the user inputs information such as the start date and time of use of the lean vehicle with a power source, the start place of use, and the end place of use into the mobile terminal, and applies for the one-shot use of the lean vehicle with a power source. When the sharing management device for a lean vehicle with a power source acquires the user's single use request information from the mobile terminal by the user's application for one-shot use, the power source-equipped lean vehicle 100, 200, 300 parked in the base X1 , Power sourced lean vehicle type-base related information, including information about a powered lean vehicle that can move to bases X2 and X5, information about base X1, and vehicle usage fees for the power sourced lean vehicle. Generate multiple.

That is, when there are a plurality of bases as the disembarkation place as in the example of FIG. 10, the power sourced lean vehicle type-base related information is not only the information on the type of the power sourced lean vehicle, but also the start of use. It also includes information on a plurality of routes (routes E and F in the example shown in FIG. 10) from the location to the end-of-use location.

Similar to the bases X1 to X3 described above, the base X5 also includes a plurality of electric two-wheeled vehicles and a parking area, and is provided with a connection cable (not shown) connected to the connection terminal of the electric two-wheeled vehicle. There is. This connection cable is also connected so that signals can be transmitted and received to the communication line 2.

Also in the examples of FIGS. 9 and 10, a lean vehicle with a power source may be transferred at the base of the relay point between the base X1 and the base X2. In this case as well, the sharing management device for a lean vehicle with a power source is a lean vehicle with a power source that transfers a lean vehicle with a power source that does not have a charge amount or a remaining amount of fuel for moving from the base X1 to the base X2. Type-base related information may be generated.

Further, the sharing management device for a lean vehicle with a power source may generate power source-equipped lean vehicle type-base related information including a plurality of bases as a use start place and a plurality of bases as a use end place. ..

In the above embodiment, when the user applies for the one-shot use of the lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 with a power source, the user inputs the end-of-use location to the mobile terminal 3. However, the user does not have to enter the end-of-use location.

In the above embodiment, in the sharing of the lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 with a power source, the case where the user uses the lean vehicles 100, 200, 300 with a power source in a single shot has been described. However, in sharing a lean vehicle with a power source, at least one of free use, regular use and fixed use may be combined with the single use.

The free use is a usage method in which the user specifies only the use start place and the use start time when the user uses the lean vehicle with a power source. That is, in the free use, the lean vehicle with a power source is used without determining at least one of the use end place and the use end time (or use time).

Further, the periodic use means that when the user wants to use the lean vehicle with a power source for a predetermined period at a predetermined time of the day, for example, for a plurality of days (predetermined period) such as monthly. It is a method of making a reservation and using it. The periodic use is a usage method in which the usage time is longer than the travel time when the user moves from the usage start location to the usage end location by a lean vehicle equipped with a power source.

Further, the fixed use is the same as the regular use, when the user wants to use the lean vehicle with a power source for a predetermined period at a fixed time of the day, for example, for a plurality of days such as a month (monthly). This is a method of collectively reserving and using (for a predetermined period). The fixed use differs from the regular use in that the use time is equivalent to the travel time when the user moves from the use start place to the use end place by a lean vehicle equipped with a power source.

In the present invention, by combining the sharing management device for a lean vehicle with a power source with a power supply device devised in various ways, the work load of energy charge for the lean vehicle with a power source is further reduced, and the power source is used. Lean vehicles can be rented more frequently. For example, the power feeding device with various ingenuity includes the non-contact power feeding device provided on the base, which is proposed in Patent Document 1.

The inventor obtained a finding different from the above while examining the entire system from the viewpoint of energy management, not from the viewpoint of hardware as in Patent Document 1.

It is preferable that the remaining energy of the lean vehicle with a power source including the electric two-wheeled vehicle used for sharing is maintained in a high state so that the lean vehicle with a power source can be used at all times. Therefore, it is required to control the remaining energy so as to maintain the remaining energy of the lean vehicle with a power source in a high state. Such control of the remaining energy amount may increase the load on the control device. Therefore, it is required to improve the efficiency of energy management of the lean vehicle with a power source by reducing the load of controlling the remaining energy amount.

The present inventor has examined in detail the operating status of a lean vehicle with a power source in order to further improve the efficiency of energy management of the lean vehicle with a power source in sharing the lean vehicle with a power source.

In examining the sharing of a lean vehicle with a power source, the present inventor has found that the lean vehicle with a power source is used when traveling from a short distance to a long distance.

In sharing a lean vehicle with a power source, the lean vehicle with a power source has a power source and is therefore used for longer distance travel than a bicycle without a power source. Further, since a lean vehicle with a power source is easier to handle than a four-wheeled vehicle, it is also used for short-distance movement like a bicycle. As described above, in sharing a lean vehicle with a power source, the lean vehicle with a power source is used in a wide traveling range from short-distance movement to long-distance movement.

In the study, the present inventor is generally used in sharing a lean vehicle with a power source in order to cover a wide traveling range from short-distance travel to long-distance travel. I noticed that it is based on the technical idea of making the type of lean vehicle with a power source one type that can move over long distances.

In general, a lean vehicle with a power source capable of long-distance movement has a larger amount of energy loaded than a lean vehicle with a power source for short-distance movement. Therefore, the lean vehicle with a power source capable of long-distance movement is heavier than the lean vehicle with a power source for short-distance movement. Therefore, when the lean vehicle with a power source capable of long-distance movement is used for short-distance movement, the lean vehicle with a power source capable of long-distance movement is compared with the lean vehicle with a power source for short-distance movement. The energy consumption rate per unit mileage is large. Therefore, the remaining energy of the lean vehicle with a power source that can move over a long distance tends to decrease.

Since the lean vehicle with a power source capable of long-distance movement may be used for long-distance movement, it is necessary to maintain the remaining energy amount as high as possible. Therefore, the lean vehicle with a power source capable of long-distance movement needs to be frequently charged with energy in preparation for the use of long-distance movement. This increases the frequency of energy charging of the lean vehicle with a power source that can move over a long distance. Therefore, the load of the control device that controls the remaining energy of the lean vehicle with a power source that can move over a long distance increases.

Therefore, the present inventor says that, unlike the conventional technical idea, in sharing a lean vehicle with a power source, a plurality of types of lean vehicles with a power source having specifications having different energy consumption rates per unit mileage are used. I tried an approach based on technical ideas.

In the course of study, the present inventor considers a lean vehicle with a power source having specifications having different energy consumption rates per unit mileage, a lean vehicle with a power source having a different maximum cruising range, and a power source with a different maximum speed. I have noticed that it includes lean vehicles, lean vehicles with power sources that have different maximum power or maximum torque.

The lean vehicles with power sources having different maximum cruising ranges have different maximum energy loadings, so that the total weight of the vehicles is different. Lean vehicles with a power source are lightweight in the first place. Therefore, as described above, the total weight of the lean vehicles with power sources having different maximum cruising distances is different, so that the lean vehicles with power sources having different maximum cruising distances greatly change the energy consumption rate per unit mileage. Can be done.

The lean vehicles with power sources having different maximum speeds have different maximum speeds, so that the air resistance during traveling is different. In addition, a lean vehicle with a power source has a large air resistance during driving because the driver is not completely covered with the cabin. Therefore, in the lean vehicle with a power source having a different maximum speed, the energy consumption rate per unit mileage can be significantly changed.

The lean vehicles with power sources having different maximum outputs or maximum torques have different drive sources (motors, engines, batteries, etc.), and therefore have different gross vehicle weights. Lean vehicles with a power source are lightweight in the first place. Therefore, as described above, the total weight of the lean vehicle with a power source having a different maximum output or maximum torque is different, so that the lean vehicle with a power source having a different maximum output or maximum torque consumes energy per unit mileage. Can be greatly changed.

In addition, a lean vehicle with a power source can use an energy utilization efficient region in the output or torque by controlling the output or torque. Further, since the lean vehicle with a power source is lightweight in the first place, it is easy to change the maximum output or the maximum torque of the lean vehicle with a power source. Therefore, it is easy to obtain a lean vehicle with a power source having a different maximum output or maximum torque. In lean vehicles with power sources having different maximum outputs or maximum torques obtained in this way, the energy consumption rate per unit mileage can be significantly changed.

As described above, the present inventor has a unit mileage depending on a lean vehicle with a power source having a different maximum cruising distance, a lean vehicle with a power source having a different maximum speed, or a lean vehicle with a power source having a different maximum output or maximum torque. I noticed that I could get a lean vehicle with a power source with different energy consumption rate per hit.

Next, the present inventor examined a method of using a plurality of types of lean vehicles with power sources having different energy consumption rates per unit mileage for sharing as described above.

Lean vehicles with a power source are used in a wide range of travel, from short-distance travel to long-distance travel. Therefore, the present inventor mixes a lean vehicle with a power source of specifications used for long-distance movement and a lean vehicle with a power source of specifications used for short-distance movement, and the energy balance of the lean vehicle with a power source. I came up with the idea of generating multiple pieces of information based on the amount information and the distance the driver wants to use the powered lean vehicle.

That is, the present inventor provides energy remaining related information related to the remaining energy of a plurality of types of lean vehicles with power sources having at least one of the specifications different from the maximum cruising distance, the maximum speed, the maximum output, and the maximum torque, and driving. Based on the usage distance information about the distance that the person wants to use the power source lean vehicle, the information about the type of the power source lean vehicle considering the energy consumption rate per unit mileage and the power source lean vehicle are parked. I came up with the idea of generating and outputting multiple pieces of information, including information about the base.

As a result, it is possible to reduce the energy consumption rate per unit mileage of the lean vehicle with a power source while matching the usage pattern of the lean vehicle with a power source of the driver. Therefore, the remaining energy of the lean vehicle with a power source is less likely to decrease.

As described above, when the remaining energy of the lean vehicle with a power source is less likely to decrease, the need to maintain the remaining energy of the lean vehicle with a power source in a high state decreases. Then, since it is not necessary to frequently replenish the energy of the lean vehicle with a power source, the load of the control device for controlling the remaining energy amount can be reduced.

Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of energy management of the lean vehicle with a power source by using the energy remaining related information related to the energy remaining amount of the lean vehicle with a power source.

From the above examination results, the present inventors have come up with the following configuration.

The energy amount control device for a lean vehicle with a power source according to an embodiment of the present invention is an energy amount control device for a lean vehicle with a power source that controls the energy amount of a lean vehicle with a power source parked on a plurality of bases. .. The energy amount control device for a lean vehicle with a power source is a plurality of types of lean vehicles with a power source parked on the plurality of bases and having specifications in which at least one of a maximum cruising distance, a maximum speed, a maximum output, and a maximum torque is different.
